Marriage to the Destroyer of my Dreams

Episode 4 Marriage Not Expected

The marriage that Jillian and Jeffran never expected, eventually still had to happen. Only a week after Jordan's death, they were married at the bride's residence. There is no fancy party like Jillian and Jordan's failed wedding plans, but only the wedding and reception attended by close family only.

Before the wedding, Jillian and Jeffran never met once. All sorts of wedding preparations such as wedding dress fittings were done separately. Even until the wedding day, Jillian and Jeffran were both unaware of what their potential partner would look like. They both don't care.

When the marriage contract, Jeffran did not sit with Jillian in front of the ruler, because Jillian will only be presented when Jeffran finished pronouncing his qabulu.

Once the word "Sah" echoed in the living room of Jillian's house, Jillian went down with her two cousins who served as bridesmaids. Slowly, Jillian sat down in front of the ruler right next to Jeffran, and signed some wedding documents along with Jeffran.

Jeffran and Jillian were still both reluctant to look at each other. Until the request of the ruler who asked Jillian to kiss the hand of the man who had been legitimate as her husband, was forced to make the two must look at each other.

Degs..

'This guy? Why should I marry this man?' Inner Jillian.

Instead of kissing Jeffran's outstretched hand, Jillian took a step back by putting on a face of hate and fear.

This strange attitude of Jillian invites all the families present, Jeffran frowned because he did not understand the reason Jillian was acting like that towards him. Not wanting to stir up all sorts of prejudices, Jillian chose to step forward slowly and kiss Jeffran's hand with a trembling hand. Jillian's body trembled violently, as Jeffran put a brief kiss on her forehead.

Throughout the event, there was no more eye contact let alone chatter between couples who had officially become husband and wife. They just greet and receive congratulations from the whole family while putting forced smiles on their faces. Finally, their wedding was over in the afternoon.

Inside Jillian's room, which had been transformed into a bridal room, Jeffran seemed to be sitting on the sofa while staring coldly at Jillian who was sitting in front of him.

"I don't want this marriage at all. Don't expect me to treat you like a wife. I just obeyed my parents' request to give Jordan's son status. Remember, this marriage is only temporary. I'll divorce you, when Jordan's son is born and officially entered my family." A cynical smile rang on Jillian's face, as soon as all of Jeffran's sentences were finished.

"Don't even think about taking this kid away from me. I was not expecting this wedding at all. Especially to marry a man like you." Jillian replies to Jeffran, who is now seen suppressing her mounting emotions. Jeffran leaned his body towards Jillian, accompanied by an intimidating look.

"A guy like me? You don't even know me.. But I know what a pregnant woman looks like out of wedlock.." Jeffran's smile seemed to belittle Jillian, making Jillian unable to resist landing a slap on Jeffran's left cheek.

Plaaq..

Jeffran unsheathed his sharp gaze towards Jillian, but Jillian did not look scared at all. Although his eyes were already reddened with anger and held back the tears that were preparing to drip.

"Just take care of your life, I'll do my part until we get divorced." Jillian rushed into the bathroom, having first picked up the sleeping pajamas from her wardrobe.

Jeffran seemed to be stroking his hot cheek softly because of Jillian's slap. His jaw was getting hardened with one hand clenching strongly.

'I'll make that woman's life hell. He made my perfect life fall apart. If it wasn't for Papa and Mama's request, I wouldn't have married that cheap woman.' Jeffran's heart in his heart.

While in the bathroom, Jillian cried while soaking in the bathtube. He went back to lamenting his unfortunate life like these few days. But this time Jillian feels her life will be further destroyed after marrying Jeffran.

'I hated him so much and hoped I would never see him again. But why was I destined to marry her and have to live my days looking at her face? It seems like she doesn't remember me at all, but I do remember her every bad treatment of me. I feel like I want to kill the man who raped me with my own hands.' Inner Jillian.

*************************

There is no first-night ritual like that of the bride and groom in general. The night they passed was only a cold one, where Jillian slept on her bed, while Jeffran slept on the sofa. The second day after the marriage, Jeffran immediately asked his parents-in-law for permission to bring Jillian to live in his apartment. Of course it was welcomed by Papa and Mama Jillian, who considered that Jeffran was impatient to stay alone with Jillian without interference from others. Though Jeffran's true goal is so that he does not need to act to be a good husband in front of his two in-laws again. After all, if they already live in the apartment, Jeffran felt free to treat Jillian as he wanted. Like his goal that would make Jillian's life hell.

Jeffran and Jillian slept in separate rooms, and they agreed to act like strangers every day. There was no interaction between them, even Jeffran felt no obligation to give birth to a living let alone an inner living to Jillian.

Jillian did not mind this unwritten rule at all. Instead, he felt more comfortable, with not too many opportunities to see the face of the disgusting Jeffran. Because his heart always felt sliced every time he saw Jeffran's face. Because the night full of disaster always comes back to his head.

Jeffran sat in the lounge overlooking the pantry, looking at his gadget while enjoying a cup of coffee and a cup of bread filled with chocolate jam prepared by himself. Jeffran suddenly stopped his chewing when he heard a noise from the sink near the pantry.

"Uweeekk..Uweeekk.." Jillian, who was originally going to make breakfast for herself, suddenly became nauseous and vomited her bowels.

Jeffran slammed the half-bread that almost went into his mouth in great annoyance.

"Fuck lady*n.. You're making my appetite go away." Jeffran. Instead of caring and sympathizing with the morning sickness that Jillian felt every morning, Jeffran actually felt annoyed and disturbed.

Jillian tried to ignore Jeffran's words. After his stomach was relieved, Jillian chose to continue her intention to make breakfast. Fried rice was the breakfast menu that Jillian had chosen this time. With great dexterity, Jillian prepared the ingredients and cooked them into a special, appetizing fried rice.

Jillian's special fried rice successfully seduces Jeffran's sense of smell. I don't know why Jeffran so wanted to taste Jillian's fried rice. But his prestige clearly defeated his will.

Jeffran continued to watch Jillian who was enjoying her fried rice voraciously. Jeffran's saliva seemed to be dripping, every time Jillian put a mouthful of fried rice into his mouth.

'Why does fried rice look so tempting? From the smell and appearance, the fried rice must be very delicious. Why do I want to eat it so much? But I don't want to ask Jillian.' Jeffran said in his heart.

Actually Jillian realized that she was currently being noticed by Jeffran. But Jillian had no idea that her husband was tempted by his fried rice.

"Darana.."

Jillian tries not to care about Jeffran who is looking for attention. He decided to finish his breakfast and go back to his room.

Settling around, Jeffran goes to the pantry to find what he wants. His eyes immediately sparkled when he opened the lid of the frying pan that Jillian had used. It turned out that the skillet still contained fried rice, even though there was little left.

Jeffran immediately put the fried rice on a plate, then took it to the dining table. Vigorously, Jeffran immediately devoured the fried rice in a large mouthful.

'What a fried rice.. Too bad there's only a little.' Jeffran said in his heart.

Without Jeffran noticing, Jillian was currently standing looking at him while folding both hands in front of his chest.

"How's my fried rice? Yummy?"

Instantly Jeffran choked, with fried rice gushing from his mouth. Fortunately, it didn't hit Jillian.

"I.. I just don't like people who like to waste food. So I ate it so as not to mubadzir." Answer Jeffran the whole thing.

"I don't waste food, I intend to spend it when hungry later. Why are you eating?" Jillian protest did not accept.

"Yes I've changed, because of trivial problems until it was that angry. Later that night I bought fried rice from the best restaurant, to replace the fried rice I ate."

"No, I don't want to eat from you." Ketus Jillian, while turning her body to return to her room.

While Jeffran cursed his stupidity which even caught Jillian, when eating fried rice made by Jillian.

'It's a shame.. Why use the show caught everything. You're so stupid Jeffran.' Jeffran's heart in his heart.
